                    [Title] => Defensor pushes for Garci tapes authentication
                    [Summary] => SUBIC BAY — Environment Secretary Mike Defensor yesterday called on Congress to review and authenticate all versions of the controversial "Hello, Garci" tapes.


"With all the versions of the tape going around, it’s hard to pinpoint which is the original and which isn’t," Defensor told The STAR in an interview.

This came in the light of lawmakers withdrawing their statements on which tapes were authentic and worthy to be used in the ongoing impeachment hearings.

Defensor said the administration has everything to gain over the question of authenticity of the taped conversations.

He said the issue would backfire on the political opposition, which has been using the tapes against Mrs. Arroyo.

But Environment Secretary Mike Defensor, who also seems to double up as top GMA political operative cum all-around fixer-upper, has done the latter with his "bombshell" that parts, and I stress parts, of the Garci tapes were faked.
